You definitely want a non-terminal "fwd" command. Ari Suutari has just implemented the "setnexthop" action that does the trick, I think the patch [1] is waiting to be commited in -CURRENT. I don't think this would be really difficult to backport to RELENG_4. Hope this helps. Regards, [1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2005-June/007710.html PS: I'm seeing more and more requests about routing limitations in FreeBSD everyday, such as lack of multiple routing tables support, lack of source routing (as well as higher level protocol based routing). Are there actually some projects that are being worked on to overcome this ? -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
